Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

This looks like a recommendation list for teenagers, kind of how we looked for CDs that had the "parent advisory" sticker.

Reading any ACOTAR (a court of mist and fury, listed above) is such an enormous waste of time though.

Like if you want to enjoy some smut go for it but it's really devoid of any merit besides being erotic.

Claiming you're reading when it's actually ACOTAR is like saying you're watching cinema when it's Backdoor Sluts 8.

You might be right technically but nobody would agree with you.

I literally just took a screen shot so I could buy the lot.

The whitest of states

It's a shame to see Gender Queer on there. I read it for my university class on comic art and thought it was really interesting. I would probably say it's more of an adult book, but I think just about all the books I read for high school English were adult books.

The author is really cool too. When the covid lockdown happened my professor emailed them asking if there were any digital options for the book, since a lot of students relied on the local library or might have left their copies in their dorms. They sent my professor a pirated link and gave permission for us to use it.

I’d take this with a healthy dose of salt. For instance The State of Wyoming has no laws banning any books. Certain School Districts and Public libraries have guidance regarding books they see as controversial but there is no STATE law about them.

I’m sure other States are being simarily misrepresented.

I like how most of New York is red, except Long Island. Long Island isn't its own state (yet).
